FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The sandals feature a strappy upper with an adjustable buckle, which allows for some customization of fit. However, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them snug depending on the exact width.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is approximately 76.1mm (around 3 inches).
Can I wear these sandals in wet conditions?
While the leather can handle light moisture, the jute-wrapped sole is not designed for wet conditions and can be damaged by excessive water. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or around water.
How do I clean the jute part of the sole?
Wipe the jute with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking or using harsh cleaning chemicals, as this can damage the fibers.
What makes the CushX™ midsole comfortable?
The CushX™ midsole combines soft EVA cushioning within a firmer EVA shell for stability. It is biomechanically engineered with an ergonomic design, anatomical contouring, and a specific heel-to-forefoot angle to mimic a sneaker's feel and support.
How should I store these sandals when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, preferably in their original box or a protective dust bag to maintain their shape and material integrity.
What is the material of the footbed?
The footbeds are made of leather, providing a comfortable and breathable surface.
Troubleshooting
Buckle is difficult to adjust.
Ensure the buckle mechanism is free of debris. Gently move the strap back and forth while adjusting. If resistance persists, contact customer support.
Leather appears dry or scuffed.
Apply a leather conditioner appropriate for your leather type. For scuffs, a leather repair balm or polish may be effective. Test on a small area first.
Jute sole shows signs of wear or fraying.
Minimize exposure to water and abrasive surfaces. For minor fraying, a small amount of fabric glue can be carefully applied to secure loose threads. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
Footbed feels uncomfortable after initial wear.
Allow for a break-in period of a few wears as the footbed conforms to your foot. Ensure the buckle is adjusted correctly for proper support.
